Objective To test the hypothesis that people with focal epilepsy experience diagnostic delays that may be associated with preventable morbidity, particularly when seizures have only nonmotor symptoms, we compared time to diagnosis, injuries, and motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) in people with focal non...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease as a result of the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). The fundamental features of PD are motor and non-motor symptoms. PD symptoms develop
Like epileptic seizures, PNES are heterogeneous. Most attacks have motor manifestations and can be quite dramatic, but others are characterized by impaired awareness or subjective symptoms. Axial shaking, side-to-side head movements, and pelvic thrusting are typical of PNES. Additional distinguishing fe...
Introduction We analysed general symptom burden in patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). A comparison was made between those who accept and those who do not accept the diagnosis of PNES (Thaller, Hyland, Kandasamy, & Sadler, 2016). Method A questionnaire-based pilot study of ...
Objective: This study aimed to explore the association between slow‐wave sleep and the progression of motor and nonmotor symptoms in patients with PD. Methods: Data were collected from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative study. Slow‐wave sleep, also known as deep non‐rapid eye movem...
The seizures began at approximately this time and were incapacitating. In intercritical periods, he was friendly, communicative and displayed hysterical personality traits, but examination indicated no negative or positive symptoms when abstinent. Cognitive assessments revealed presence of intellectual ...
This X-linked urea cycle disorder results in neurotoxic hyperammonaemia with neurologic symptoms such as seizures, decreased consciousness and abnormal motor function [33]. In this reported case mutism lasted 4 days. Discussion This case of CMS in a 10-year-old girl following emergency surgery ...
Altered mental status (AMS) was the most common neurological manifestation of stroke, followed by abnormal motor functions and PLRs. Motor symptoms were most strongly associated with stroke (p < 0.001), followed by CAD (p < 0.0449) as an underlying disease, ECMO (p < 0.0208) ...
amnesia, early signs of concussion (eg, dazed or confused, answers questions slowly, repeats questions, or forgetful), and seizures; (2) a 22-item dichotomous symptom inventory designed to assess injury characteristics, symptoms; and (3) assessment of risk factors associated with prolonged recovery...
Details of the episodes often include characteristics that are inconsistent with epileptic seizures. In particular, some characteristics of the motor (i.e., convulsive) phenomena are associated with PNES (see EEG video monitoring in Other Tests). Common and helpful symptoms include side-to-side shak...
